06.23.13 A T & T – grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This post is mostly for RVers but could be helpful to anyone who has the need of a GO phone.  I believe this post rivals the Conroe, TX blog in length but definitely does not have as happy an ending. A GO phone is a prepaid phone which can or does not have to be renewed… Continue reading 06.23.13 A T & T – grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

06.11.13 Three days off coming to an end!

Our three days off started out with me in bed for an extended period of time. No fishing, no church, no nothing but bed rest.

It's been years since I needed bed rest for my back but I… Continue reading 06.11.13 Three days off coming to an end!

05.08.13 My hometown – Madison, South Dakota

Bruce Springsteen sang the song "My hometown" and that kept running through my mind as we drove through the little town that is now "our hometown".  If you're driving up I-29 in South Dakota take exit 109 and hang a left, go down about 20 miles and you'll enter the wonderful little town of Madison. … Continue reading 05.08.13 My hometown – Madison, South Dakota
